Yesterday was the best day. Good conversation over lunch, did very well on a midterm, completed a quiz with ease, and started and finished my geography assignment before falling asleep.

Huge amount of respect for M.I.A. Out of all the mainstream artists I can think of, her music and attitude has remained the most consistent throughout her career. Great video with a strong message as usual.

XV - A Night To Remember


This song was recorded for the original Kid with the Green Backpack album back in 2008.  I can’t even remember where I found the sample from but it had a really unique melody to me so I flipped it and supported it with some different analog synths I was using on that album.  We went back in towards the end of the sessions for that album and I threw some talkbox parts on the end of it.  We used to refer to this as “the prom song” because the mood to us was like 1984 Napolean Dynamite high school prom meets Superbad craziness! Which would have made for a really dope visual!

XV - T.A.L.K. (they act like kids)

We made this song for the original version of The Kid with the Green Backpack, recorded a while back, and decided to cut it because we we’re working on better songs for the album.  We were in the middle of a different musical phase then, but I still love this song to this day.  I had a guitar sample on the beat originally and I had Jace go in and replay all the guitar parts… we we’re attempting to give a Cure-esque sound to it.  And I told our engineer to put the Bobby Brown verb on the hook! Anyways, here’s “T.A.L.K.” (they act like kids) from the the OG version of The Kid with the Green Backpack.

so it not about fame and fortune / its about believing, and believing in yourself / understanding that this life its life / its liberty, its pursuit of happiness / happiness is not about getting what you want all the time, its about loving what you do have / so get ready, its a new day.
